Playing as Tristana

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Bomb, then Rapid Fire

    Plant Explosive Charge (E), then activate Rapid Fire (Q): the attack speed helps you land the 4 hits that make it explode right away, at full power.

  2. Keep them at a distance

    Hit from range and back off as soon as they come close: Draw a Bead (passive) increases your attack range with each level.

  3. Chain your jumps

    Chain your jumps in teamfights: Rocket Jump (W) resets right away on a champion takedown, or when Explosive Charge (E) explodes at max stacks on a champion.

  4. Knock back the assassin with your ult

    Save Buster Shot (R) for the assassin who jumps on you: the cannonball knocks back your target and nearby enemies, and stuns them.

Playing against Twitch

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Get out of his cloud fast

    Get out of the Venom Cask (W) cloud fast: it slows you and adds a Deadly Venom stack every second, which powers up his Contaminate (E).

  2. Ward against his ambush

    Ward your brushes and place a Control Ward on his paths: it reveals camouflaged enemies, and Ambush (Q) lets him reach you unseen.

  3. Focus him as soon as he appears

    As soon as he comes out of the Ambush (Q) camouflage, focus him with your allies: he's fragile and has no dash to escape.

  4. Leave his range during his ult

    During Spray and Pray (R), get out of his extended range until the effect ends: his bolts pierce every enemy, so hiding behind an ally won't protect you.
